In terus of days, our immediate objective is 100 which can be reached by November 21st. On completion of 100 safe days a gala Community Party vill be staged by the Compeny. In terms of men hours there is an objective, which, if reached, would be a pomarkable achievement during our first calendar year of mill operation, B¥ WORKING SAFELY FOR THE BALANCE OF THIS YEAR, OUR RECORD WOULD EXCEED ONE-HALF MILLION M:N HOURS.
